    Because we aren’t talking about wealth discrimination here. We’re talking about racism. And yes when someone’s family was enslaved and oppressed for 500 years because of their skin color, that’s going to be the metric for who needs help to repair that damage. This isn’t deep, this is some white bullshit to try and justify the continued oppression of minorities. Because there is no movement on anything else you’ve mentioned and you want to take away the way they are being helped right now.

    I don’t care who you identify with, this is some Turning Point USA level shit. We can’t do the thing we’re doing, because we should do something that isn’t happening and may never happen. So I guess white supremacists win again by default!

    You can come for affirmative action after there’s consistent movement on the economic issue, or after, (as one example of many) you can’t point out the minority part of town anymore just by looking at a map to see what communities were cut off from services by highways.
